Online property listing site, 99acres which was recently surrounded by controversy when a broker posted a listing on the website with clearly mentioning ‘no Muslims’ are allowed, has ensured to place more rigorous checks and processes to prevent the recurrence of such listings.

A broker from Mumbai had posted an ad on the website on 23rd October with a text, “Excellent brand new 2BHK fully furnished flat with cross ventilation, natural light. Cosmopolitan society, no Muslims, with car parking on immediate sale, fifth floor interested please call”.

The advertisement was modified on 2nd November, but before that it was noticed by few and even a young lawyer and social activist Shehzad Poonawalla filed a petition with the National Commission for Minorities seeking action against the broker and 99acres.com.

The company also said that they remove listings when they are reported to them and deemed offensive and discriminatory.

“We are deeply embarrassed that our site was misused in this manner,” said the company.
